What I find remarkable is that Elecraft is even willing to look at a radio that 
has suffered lightening damage.

Back in the mid-90's I took an indirect lightening hit that left a bit of 
molten metal around the shack.   Two other radio top 3 manufacturers were 
totally unwilling to even attempt repairs.  The policy was -- "Lightening 
induced damage, we won't touch it".  Nonetheless, I had to send the radios to 
the manufacturers, and pay for 2-way shipping plus a "service" fee,  just to 
get a letter to give my insurance company stating the equipment was 
"unrepairable".  It might have been, or not, but the service departments 
wouldn't even check.
